Gremlins working @ Alternative Tentacles

If you've been trying to order via credit card on our site over the weekend, you'll know that it's not possible. We're working to get this fixed, but in the meantime you can use the paypal option on-line or use one of the other methods on our FAQ page

You can also use our Discogs page to order anything in our catalog! (And you guys scoffed at how late we set up shop there- better late than not now, at least you credit card fiends can get your hit of The Bat while we fix our main site)

Selling on Discogs

Although we prefer it when you buy directly from us, the ludicrous prices some people are charging for old AT releases on Discogs drove us to enter the fray.
Browse here if you'd like, but note that shopping directly through Alternative Tentacles mailorder is cheaper (because Discogs tacks on a small percentage of sales).

Anniversary of the Seattle WTO protests


Today marks the tenth anniversary of the 1999 Seattle WTO protests. Here are some news articles about this anniversary from Common Dreams, People's History Project, and Seattle Indymedia.
Always ahead of the curve, Jello Biafra along with Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), and Gina Mainwal performed at a Dec 1 protest under the name The No W.T.O. Combo. Shepard Fairey did the cover artwork for the live recording, as he did most recently for the cover art on The Audacity of Hype. Here's some behind-the-scenes perspective on that day from Matt "The Tube"'s blog.
We are selling both the CD and LP of "Live From the Battle in Seattle" for $6.
